The readmes have never been updated by cvsup. In addition, the INDEX and INDEX-5 files are updated infrequently. If you want to use portupgrade tools to maintain your ports, which is the easiest and cleanest, you have to rebuild INDEX[-5] and INDEX.db aftrer each cvsup of portsall. I use a script to update the ports and have the following commands at the bottom # Now update the index pages. cd /usr/ports make index portsdb -u Since I use "make index", I don't refuse anything but "ports/INDEX" so that the make index doesn't terminate prematurely. This produces and INDEX-5 on a FreeBSD 5.x system. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
